It's a very unique place to stay in Bangkok. We really enjoyed our stay and spent a lot of time ok the front porch with a view of the beautiful garden.
Lots of great and inexpensive local and street eateries one street away and easily walkable.
We generally took a taxi or Uber if we went downtown and it was 20-40 min depending on traffic.
One of us is 190cm and had to be careful not to hit his head on the doorways!
